What it does
Jop Research Design is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when defending the research design of a The Journal of Politics (JOP) manuscript — causal identification for quantitative work, experimental and survey-experimental design, formal-empirical linkage, or case selection and process tracing for qualitative work. JOP is methodologically diverse and makes acceptance contingent on replicability, so design with reproducibility in mind. Strengthens the design; it does not write code.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Research & Science, covering Experimental design and Reproducible research. The repository describes itself as: Comprehensive collection of Claude Code skills for academic research in economics, finance, and social sciences.
When your agent uses it
- Defending the research design of a The Journal of Politics (JOP) manuscript — causal identification for quantitative work
- Experimental and survey-experimental design
- Formal-empirical linkage
- Case selection and process tracing for qualitative work
Example prompts
- “/jop-research-design”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a4b2db. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Jop Research Design loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 113 tokens; SKILL.md has 442 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 442 words (~1,130 tokens).
“JOP is methodologically diverse and demanding about each tradition. The design must credibly connect the argument (jop-theory-building) to evidence — and, because acceptance is contingent on replicability, it must be one a JOP replication analyst can re-run. This skill is…”
